Welcome to the 362nd day of the year. Day 362 is the fifth day of the 52nd week; and the 19th day in the last 22/23 days of the year. Day 362 is December 28 in a clear year and December 27 in a leap year.
Day 362 is a fifth-season day and has an illustrative pattern in what God did on the fifth day of creation. God made sea creatures and birds of the air, in abundance, and blessed creation, for the first time, on the fifth day of creation. God intends the fifth day to be a season of blessings instead of curses, life instead of death, health instead of disease, freedom instead of bondage, abundance instead famine, scarcity, and lack, fruitfulness instead barrenness, spirituality instead of carnality, and multiplication instead of decimation. However, the outcome is determined by man’s choices and responses. The creatures of the fifth day have ability to perceive reality by their senses of sight, hearing, smell, touch, and taste. They have ability to move about; and they ability to make sounds and respond actively to stimuli. Day 362 is a day to make right choices by sensitivity. It is a season life and safety through sensitivity and proper response.
Day 362 is a book of Deuteronomy day in the 52nd week. Deuteronomy is the fifth book of the Bible. It is a fifth season book as Day 362 is a fifth-season day. In the book of Deuteronomy, God gave Israel commands that would keep them out of harm’s way. He said they would receive blessings and escape curses by obeying His word. In Deuteronomy 30:15-19, God said, “See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil, [16] in that I command you today to love the LORD your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments, His statutes, and His judgments, that you may live and multiply; and the LORD your God will bless you in the land which you go to possess. [17] But if your heart turns away so that you do not hear, and are drawn away, and worship other gods and serve them, [18] I announce to you today that you shall surely perish; you shall not prolong your days in the land which you cross over the Jordan to go in and possess. [19] I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live”. Day 362 is a day live by choice not chance.
Day 362 is a book of Psalms day in the last 22/23 days of the year. Psalms is the 19th book of the Bible; and is applicable to the 19th day in last 22/23 days of the year. The book of Psalms shows how man may triumph in life by finding solace, and taking refuge, in God. In the 19th book of the Bible, the psalmist faced life and the forces of evil with deep spirituality – delighting in God’s word, meditating, trusting, praying, worshipping, and praising God. Day 362 is a day to trust in the Almighty God, and thrust your yourself to Him, as the psalmist did. It is a day to verbalize our thoughts to God in prayer and praise. The creatures of the fifth day produce sound by the voice. Day 362 is a day of lifting or raising the voice.
Day 362 is a First-Thessalonians-chapter-5 day. The 52nd book of the Bible is First Thessalonians; and the fifth chapter is comparable and applicable to the fifth day of the 52nd week. This chapter has several exhortations towards godliness. In the first 11 verses Paul wanted the Thessalonians to not be moved by questions about the time and season of the Lord’s coming; because His coming is for us and not against us. We are created in Christ to be sensitive to times and seasons.
The next eleven verses (12-22) are about sensitivity to people and the Holy Spirit. First Thessalonians 5:12-22 says, “And we urge you, brethren, to recognize those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord and admonish you, [13] and to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. Be at peace among yourselves. [14] Now we exhort you, brethren, warn those who are unruly, comfort the fainthearted, uphold the weak, be patient with all. [15] See that no one renders evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good both for yourselves and for all. [16] Rejoice always, [17] pray without ceasing, [18] in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. [19] Do not quench the Spirit. [20] Do not despise prophecies. [21] Test all things; hold fast what is good. [22] Abstain from every form of evil”.
Day 362 is a day of life but insensitivity leads to death. On this day (December 28) in 1832, John C. Calhoun became the first vice president of the United States to resign, stepping down because of differences with President Andrew Jackson. In 1908, a major earthquake followed by a tsunami devastated the Italian city of Messina, killing at least 70,000 people. In 1987, the bodies of 14 relatives of Ronald Gene Simmons were found at his home near Dover, Arkansas, after Simmons shot and killed two other people in Russellville. (Simmons, who never explained his motives, was executed in 1990.). In 2008, a bomb-loaded SUV exploded at a military checkpoint in Afghanistan, claiming the lives of 14 school children in a heartbreaking flash captured by a U.S. security camera. In 2017, twelve people died in a Bronx apartment building fire, the deadliest residential fire to hit New York City in at least a quarter century; officials said it was caused by a 3-year-old boy playing with stove burners. (A 13th victim died of his injuries days later.). – https://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2018/12/28/us/ap-history.html. In 2018, twelve people died In a ghastly motor accident in Oju Local Government area of Benue State, Nigeria. Most of the victims were traveling for a political campaign rally. http://pulse.org/ In 2019, a suicide bomb blast killed 79 people and injured about 150 in Mogadishu, Somalia.
Day 362 is a day of freedom from shackles. On December, 28, in 1843, an unclean spirit cried “Jesus is victor!” as it departed from a young girl in Möttlingen, Germany. The possessed girl was Gottliebin Dittus, and the presiding pastor was Johann Christoph Blumhardt (1805-1880). – http://scriptoriumdaily.com/jesus-is-victor-blumhardt/
Day 362 is a Matthew – Galatians day in the 52nd week. It is a day of the compassionate intervention of God. Every week is like a journey through the Bible having an Old Testament side and a New Testament side. The first four days of the week belong to the Old Testament side and expresses the 39 books of the Old Testament. The remaining three days of the week constitute the New Testament side and express the 27 books of the New Testament. The fifth day of the week is the beginning of the New Testament side of the week; and expresses the first nine books of the New Testament. The first 9 books of the NT are about Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, and the Church. The books are about the love and grace of God granting salvation and justification to humanity by faith. This is a day to enter experientially into the New Testament side of the week. It is a day of answers to prayers, fulfillment of prophecies, and delivery of promises. The New Testament side is the spiritual and deeper side. The New Testament side is the side of manifestation. The old has passed away; and the new has begun. Dreams for the week are expected to come to pass and promises should be fulfilled. Expect deliverance and divine intervention.
DECREE AND DECLARE: At creation, God spoke His will into each day. He made us in His image and likeness; and expects us to release His will into each day. Decree this day that the flesh will not overtake the spirit in your life, family,, organization, and nation. Decree a change in the week and declare that today is the beginning of the New Testament side of the 33rd week. As a Book-of-Matthew day, decree that Emmanuel (God is with us) takes over. As a New Testament type day, decree that the love of God will overtake human error and failure. Today, submit to the spirit against the flesh. Walk in the spirit and make no room for the flesh. The fifth season is a season of giving spiritual interpretations to earthly manifestations. Today, make it your watchword to walk in the spirit and obey God’s Word. Walking in the spirit is the key to gaining all. Birds (representing the spirit) fly above and eat from the land, the sea, and the air. Today, cry out to God against oppression and for the pains in your life. Speak out also. Trust Him to intervene in your affairs and in the affairs of people around you. Determine to make a next-level move. It’s time to shift base in the spirit! Today, put yourself on the side of blessing by choosing obedience instead of curses by choosing disobedience. Today, take a stand for life, freedom of movement, and freedom of expression. Take a stand against insensitivity, bondage, disease, and death. Happy 362nd day.
